Welcome to STOP POTS Virginia!

You don't have to be in Virginia, DC, or MD to use or benefit from the site, feel free to look around. This is a place to create awareness, educate, and support for a type of chronic illness known as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which is a type of Dysautonomia. It's based on personal experience with the complete lack of knowledge both by many doctors and the general public, especially in my home state of Virginia. I hope to provide solid resources and information for patients living with this disabling syndrome. It's tough when you have to educate your own doctor! POTS affects an estimated 500,000-1 million people in the US, and I'm one of them.
